Yeah, I know. I still want to try some more authentic methods, but for now, those I had laying around, are easy to wash an do the job. I first have to work on some other parts of my (and my retiarius') outfit.

Just a few from our group:
[size=85:2f4vccdf](The Murmillo at the bottom of this post is wearing high-greaves that really belong to the Thraex, that's because he was a Thraex until the press guy who took this picture made him change helms & use a different shield for effect.. nice lighting on this - so we kept it)[/size]

We loved doing national archaeology day in your amphitheatre & Paul Harston always organised/looked after everybody very well.

We even miss the racecourse events
It's true! I must admit I used to find the race days very entertaining... people getting absolutely smashed on cider and starting a punch-up to take away the pain of losing vast amounts of money on the racecourse, or people getting absolutely smashed on cider and starting a punch-up to celebrate winning vast amounts of money on the racecourse.

It made us feel homesick for Essex! :lol:

Seriously... We had some great shows there with you guys... because as animated as the race-goers got, they always appreciated a good show and roared approval at Romans getting killed in the arena - I had can of Special Brew thrown at me when I killed the young heroic retiarius, Now that's what I call audience reaction!!!!

Mind you, we laughed at the memory of you guys coming to Flag Fen that year... when we had planted a 'troublemaker' in the audience for dramatic effect... your centurion didn't realize he was a plant (the message hadn't reached him that it was all part of the show) ... and decked him with a firm punch when he ran onto the arena... VERY funny and it made it all more realistic! :lol: :lol: :lol:
